Rachel Nichols 'Pranced' the Field, Hugged NFL Players: NY Post

Admit it, when Rachel Nichols left ESPN for CNN and Turner sports -- you expected her to say, "I'm told..." Here's an interesting anecdote from today's NY Post:

Among her [Nichols'] last public but off-air acts as a credentialed ESPN reporter came Nov. 18 when, during team drills before Ravens-Steelers (an NBC telecast), she pranced the field, no microphone or other reporting tools, kissing and hugging players.

ESPN explained she was just wishing players a happy Thanksgiving. CNN’s release on Nichols’ hiring notes she has a degree in journalism from Northwestern University.
